A local advocacy group is trying to hit a lofty financial goal to reunite families by Mother's Day.\r\n\r\n\"The reality right now is that we have a cash\/bail system that's really broken,<br>\" says Nicole Hale,<br> with the community advocacy group\u00a0LUCHA,<br> which stands for Living United for Change in Arizona. \"If you're a poor person,<br> you're stuck. Being stuck in jail can have serious impacts on a person's life.\"\r\n<div>\r\n<div>Hale says that's especially true for moms.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\"If you're a single parent,<br> you're talking about losing custody of children...being put into the system,<br>\" Hale said. It's something that Hale says happened to one Valley mom.\r\n\r\n\"She was arrested when she was nine months pregnant,<br> and she was forced to have a C-section in jail.\"\r\n\r\nHale cited privacy reasons for why she couldn't give us specific information about the inmate,<br> who will be bailed out with money raised by LUCHA. Hale says the mom of three\u00a0can't afford the $5,<br>000 bail,<br> and there are many more just like her.\r\n\r\nLUCHA is fundraising through a <a href=\"https:\/\/youcaring.com\/freeourmomsaz\">YouCaring website<\/a>. The group hopes to hit $20,<br>000 in donations so they can bail out as many moms as possible from Maricopa County jails.\r\n\r\nHale points out that these women have only been charged,<br> not convicted of their crimes.\r\n\r\nAs for who gets the money,<br> Hale says they are taking community referrals and will make the decision based on a few parameters: You have to be a mother,<br> a minority,<br> and too poor to afford bail money.\r\n\r\n\"So,<br> while our cash\/bail system hurts all people who are low-income,<br> it's disproportionately affecting black and brown moms,<br>\" she explains.\r\n\r\nABC15 reached out to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office,<br> who told us 1,<br>151 female inmates are currently housed in Maricopa County jails. The ethnic breakdown for the first three months of this year are as follows: 68 percent are white,<br> 14 percent are African-American,<br> 11 percent are Hispanic,<br> and 6 percent are Native American.\r\n\r\nHale says the charges against the inmate will not be a factor when deciding which moms to bail out. Bail can be as low as $500,<br> but it goes even higher\u00a0based on the seriousness of the crime,<br> as well as other factors.\r\n\r\nWith several thousand dollars already raised,<br> Hale says the LUCHA bailouts will begin immediately.\r\n\r\n\"We're starting this week,<br> but will go all throughout May,<br>\" Hale said.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><br \/><center><hr\/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/steempress\/'>SteemPress<\/a> : https:\/\/www.sotomayorent.com\/azjailedmothers\/<\/em><hr\/><\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"steempress\",<br>\"app\":\"steempress\/1.2\",<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/www.sotomayorent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mamabailout2_b8b64739b1f15ac75ac865dc2f0c7d11.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"steempress\",<br>\"steem\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"video\",<br>\"vlog\" " | | comment_options | "author":"tommysotomayor",
